  • A blustery winter day at Lake Tahoe

    Lake Tahoe spans two states, California and Nevada, but the unused card has no caption other than what you see here.  It doesn’t look too blustery, but it does look like winter.  Grade: 1

  • South from Table Rock

    This ancient, unused real photo card gives no further clues as to where this is, but based on the requirement for a one-cent stamp, it’s probably in the USA.  Grade: 2

  • Great Smoky Mountains National Park, mountain stream

  • Sunset on The Mississippi

  • Discovery of Gold – 1848

    We know this represents California but we’ve no idea what or where the card came from, most likely in the 1970s because someone wrote their name and date on the back, along with “Wax Museum”.  Grade: 5

    Code: 10100067

  • Francis (sic) Willard School

    It’s an unused, real-photo card, very old, with her name misspelled, and no other caption.  There are lots of Frances Willard Schools in the USA–we even attended one of them, long ago–though not, we think, this one.  Grade: 3

  • Lake

    It’s possible this card does say where the lake is:  there’s a tiny red caption stretching along the bottom front edge, but it blends in so well, we can’t read it.  The card was mailed in 1912, with stamp and Iowa postmark.  Grade: 2

    Code: 10100074

    Price: $0.50

  • Winter in the Rockies

    “The Rockies” narrows down the location, but we won’t know for sure exactly where.  What we do know is that this card was mailed in 1907; has most of the postmarks from both sending and receiving locations; and its stamp.  The card is extremely heavily aged.  Grade: 4

    Price: $0.50

  • Lake Superior Circle Route

    Mailed in 2021, this card has four different stamps (three uncancelled) and some postmark transfer on the front.  One might think of shipping more than roads, but there it is.  Grade: 2

  • Rhododendron in bloom

    Norfolk & Western Railway provided the photo for this unused Plastichrome card P23873, whose caption clearly states the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway was still being built.  So you know this is an older card … Grade: 1

  • Greetings from the Amish Country

    Unused “local” card showing these three boys during the wheat harvest.  The card was published in Pennsylvania, where many Amish persons live, but the caption does not specifically say so.  Small smudge on the bottom reverse.  Grade: 2

    Price: $3.00

  • Out Where The West Begins

    Our website has (or had) a few cards with this poem by Arthur Chapman, each one having different graphics.  So it gets around.  Somewhere in this world, someone is trying to collect them all.  Good luck!  Unused Curteich-Chicago C.T. American Art card 88021-N.  Grade: 1

  • The Beautiful Ohio

    Unused Dexter Press card 54020-B (W.V. #1) whose caption says a lot about the Ohio River but not where the photo was taken.  But that Dexter Press secondary reference number more or less gives the secret away.  Grade: 1
